To date only one correction has been reported for the
second
edition of the book.

John Dance,
dance@be.com. There
appears to be a bug on pages 70-71 of your book (second edition).

The second character of the keyword will over write
the first since yytext[0] is written
explicitly and then yytext[0] is written
again at the end of the for loop. Changing the initialization of i
to 1 will fix this. Or changing the post-increment to a pre-increment
both in the loop and in the setting of EOS would also work.

Other corrections to the second edition will be
added to this page as they are received.
